Family lawyer

Richard has been trusted with our family affairs for years now. He is always careful to guide us in the right direction with our be interests at heart. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of family trust or estate matters.

Not knowledgeable about estate law

Rich Cohen was our lawyer regarding estate issues. At first, I thought he knew what he was doing. However, as the case progressed, motions were not filed in a timely manner and we were charged hourly rates for legal work that was not completed or followed through with the court. He also failed to ...send our family copies of court filings, yet we were charged. We ended up hiring another attorney who was way more familiar with the law. I do not recommend him as he does not follow through yet he runs up your bill. Our issues were never resolved by Mr. Cohen and I cannot recommend him for any type of estate work as it ended up being a very costly mistake for our family by hiring Richard Cohen.

Smart, Caring, Diligent, and Responsive with GREAT results..Great lawyer

Mr. Cohen handled my family legal dispute that involved a will, and many assets and was able to retrieve and/or receive a judgment on ALL assets that had been stolen and commingled or misappropriated. He was also able to quickly have the executrix of the estate removed from any authoritative positio...n so that further damage could not be done. It was a long rigorous process that ended with trial and a large judgment in my favor however, there were also many other victories along the way. Mr. Cohen went above and beyond with my case, picking me up when I didn't have a ride, dealing with my less than respectful family, and much more. I am now happy that I can call him a friend. If you are looking for a smart lawyer who is willing to go the extra mile, and implement creative tactics to help you reach your end game, I would recommend Mr. Cohen to anyone.

professional, very helpful

I hired Richard after another attorney failed to explain the process of assisted living and dealing with the requirements of social services and social security. Richard clearly explained the process of dealing with these agencies. He accompanied me to social services for both my parents and even tho...ugh the paperwork was crazy he helped every step of the way. His assistant Rhonda was a very big help as well. With Richard's help everything went well. I would recommend Richard to friends and family going through the process of placing a parent in assisted living.

Highly recommended

Richard Cohen was highly recommended to me by another attorney for the preparation of Wills and Estate Planning for my parents and brother. Richard was very helpful and took the time to explain to everyone all that was needed to be done. He was very professional and thorough. Also, issues arose... with my brother's Veteran's Disability Benefits and Richard successfully resolved these problems quickly and efficiently. I would recommend him to anyone in need of these services.
